van Lagen ends relationship with Comtec
“I am heavily disappointed," van Lagen told his personal website. “I was signed as the lead driver but when I signed the contract most of the important people had moved away from the team. This is the only team in the World Series where I would have focused myself on, because Comtec can win races.
“The preparations for the season went badly. I had many problems in the car, which had been just solved at the Nürburgring and Barcelona. At Monza I had a tire problem, something that Michelin have confirmed later.
“However, I thought it was particularly bad for Jonathan Lewis accuse me in the press afterwards for my performance. I could have remained for the races at the Nürburgring and Monaco but not with the chemistry as it is at the moment.
“I had hoped for a lot this season, but it has abruptly ended. The season has just started and the top teams are at present full. Undoubtedly spots will be released, so that I can possibly come back this season."
